Several factors were involved in the formation of New England Confederation,1643-1684. The main factors were protection from the Indians, the dutch and the french, resolving territorial disputes among colonies, regulating trade and carry out economic transactions to substantiate their colonies. Besides, safeguarding from the British aggression and religious disputes that existed among colonies.
For brevity, i have answered main areas. You can much more information online/google books.
Hope it helps!
